After Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders criticized Disney during a recent campaign stop, the CEO of the company fired back at the Vermont senator, asking him bluntly, “How many jobs have you created?”

According to the Los Angeles Times, Sanders condemned Disney at a campaign stop in California Tuesdsay, calling the corporation “an example of what we’re talking about when we talk about a rigged economy.”
“Anybody make a living wage working for Disney?” Sanders asked his supporters, adding, “Disney pays its workers wages that are so low that many of them are forced to live in motels because they cannot afford a decent place to live.”
“It would be very nice of the Disney corporation to start building factories in the United States,” Sanders continued.
In a private Facebook post obtained by The Wrap, Disney CEO Bob Iger wrote, “To Bernie Sanders: We created 11,000 new jobs at Disneyland in the past decade, and our company has created 18,000 in the US in the last five years.”
“How many jobs have you created?” he added. “What have you contributed to the US economy?”
A spokesperson for Disney told TheWrap in a statement that Sanders “clearly doesn’t have his facts right”:
The Disneyland Resort generates more than $5.7 billion annually for the local economy, and as the area’s largest employer has added more than 11,000 jobs over the last decade, a 65% increase. These numbers don’t take into account our $1 billion expansion to add a Star Wars-themed land, which will create thousands of additional jobs across multiple sectors.
According to OpenSecrets.org, Iger is a supporter of Sanders’ rival former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and has contributed $2,700 to her campaign, the maximum donation to a campaign from an individual permitted by law.

The FBI is investigating after police in Texas say an armed man who claimed to be affiliated with the Islamic State terrorist group assaulted and spit on an officer.
Sadek Hamed, 22, was arrested shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday and now faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and assaulting a public servant. Police said Hamed was armed with an AK-47, a shotgun, a handgun and 200 rounds of ammunition, KTVT-TV reported.
Image source: WFAA-TV
A school law enforcement resource officer for the Arlington School District was driving to the police station when he was reportedly flagged down by two people claiming to have knowledge of a possible assault. WFAA-TV reported the individuals told the officer that Hamed had threatened a woman with a knife.
The officer eventually caught up with Hamed at a traffic light. That’s when things got tense.
Hamed and the officer engaged in a physical fight as two bystanders rushed over to help the officer. Since the officer didn’t see Hamed brandishing a weapon at the time, he holstered his firearm and took out his Taser.
That’s when Mohammad Omar Ileiwat, a local business owner, says he started to record the incident. Ileiwat said the suspect started moving “aggressively” toward the officer, so the officer acted quickly.
“The suspect got out, turned away, and the officer tased him,” Ileiwat said, according to WFAA-TV.
The officer tased the Hamed a second time, causing him to fall to the ground. Meanwhile, strangers reportedly rushed over to help the officer arrest him. Hamed is in custody at the Arlington jail.
At some point during the altercation, Arlington Police Lt. Chris Cook said Hamed made “strange remarks” about having ties to terrorists. Police have notified the FBI and ATF.
A spokesman for the FBI did not immediately return a request for comment from TheBlaze.
